Just came across this on Dave Silver Spares facebook site.
Due to upcoming changes to the re-classification of sulphuric acid, we will no longer be permitted to sell batteries by mail order that contain acid packs. The new legislation comes into effect on 1st July 2018, to ensure we meet the deadline, we will cease our sales after Thursday 28th June, or until stocks last.

99% of our battery range will be affected, we will still be able to supply a pre-filled battery to anybody who is collecting from our offices, or we will be able to supply a dry charged battery mail order, however, it will be upto the end user to find an outlet who is willing or able to fill the battery for them, I would image this will be extremely difficult.

We were given little advance warning of this, and it has not been widely publicised, please also be aware this not only effects us, but all outlets!! Therefore if you are in need of a battery in the near future, please make sure you order it in the next few days.
